Travel research says the popularity of driverless cars will help people enrich their sex lives.
When drivers' hands are liberated, the relative privacy and comfort of modern cars provide the right place, says essay, published in the Tourism Research Yearbook.
"it seems to inspire people's sexuality," said Sean Cohen, director of research at Surrey University.
According to the study, about 60 percent of respondents in the United States said they had ever had make love. In their car.
But self-driving cars will change the status quo:
Instead of finding a car in an unattended corner, a couple can play on the road.
According to the study, this will open up new opportunities for sex tourism.
"imagine the mobile version of Amsterdam's red light zone," the study authors said. "it's just a small leap forward."
"Sex is part of travel, and, sexual transaction is part of travel, and self-driving cars are very likely to help prostitution, whether legal or illegal, will happen in the future in the movement of autonomous cars."
As Eddie Murphy (Eddie Murphy) and Hugh Grant (Hugh Grant), who were captured by the police, say in their experience: car shocks are risky, and classmates need to be careful. But the risk of being caught may add to make love's appeal.
The study looks at the potential impact of self-driving cars, which are expected to become popular in the 1940s.
Cars will need to be redesigned to adapt to lifestyle changes. People's hands do not need to control the steering wheel, work or entertainment, will be very different.
Hotels will be the most affected industry, not just because of a drop in hour room reservations.
Motels are most affected, Cohn says, because people sleep in cars on the way. Because self-driving cars can easily arrive on time and easily on demand, people may prefer cheaper hotels outside the central business district.
Bus tours, taxis, and even speed of arrival may be affected.
But some disagreed, said Wake Smith, a law professor at the University of South Carolina, that by the 2040s, people might be just "focused on virtual reality make love, doesn't care about the situation in the car at all."
